    What a great interview. I hope the younger generations of your family keep this for decades. My own mom passed away at 61 years old, and we're never going to have a chance to record her opinions and memories and knowledge like this. Moms are so special.

    Hello Carolyn, I have loved to listen to the interview, it was so interesting to hear about your changes in taste to modern and bright quilts. I think quilting is a great American tradition in families which we don't have here in Europe. I learned sewing from my grandmothers who made beautiful clothes. But it's the quilting, the many bright colours that have fascinated me. Your daughter's beautiful and modern patterns are amazing. Hope to hear from you some time! Greetings from Germany! It's 3.00 a.m. here now and I woke up. Best wishes! Andrea

    My mother never quilted but she did make our clothes, drapes and bedding. She taught me to make Barbie clothes on her machine. Then in college I taught myself how to quilt. My mom is my biggest supporter and cheerleader. Great at helping me choose colors and quilting designs.

    Hi mom! We started at the same time. I remember because "everyone" was collecting/swapping for Y2K charm quilts. (I am a scrappy quilter who also loves string quilts as a result & Another crazy coincidence, I don't care for paper piecing either.)

    That was the sweetest interview. I'm still learning and hoping that one day, my two daughters would love to quilt and create as much as I. I did have them make a quilt with me for school. Carolyn, you're a very sweet lady, and your daughter is doing a superb job teaching others. Many blessings to both, and please keep creating. ❤

    That was wonderful! I learnt to sew from watching my mum make everything from undies, dresses and bed linen to even upholstery. We lived in the tropics then and had no use for quilts, but the skills have served me well for quilting in Australia where we live now. I’m really looking forward to doing one of your kaleidoscope quilts soon. Your mum looks beautiful and I would love to have met her personally. Thank you for sharing her with us.

    I grew up down near where your mom lives. It was called Valley Park. We had a Rosemount address, Apple Valley phone exchange, and Lakeville city and water but we weren't in any of those cities. The running joke was that either we were so horrible that it was a shared burden OR we were so great, everyone wanted a piece of us. I went to elementary school in Valley Park, middle school in Apple Valley, and senior high in Rosemount. The elementary was brand new in 1971, the year we moved from Bloomington. The entrance to the school had a huge bird cage with a fish pond around it and benches to sit on around that. We were often late for class because we just wanted to stay with the birds and fish. LOL

    Hello, Carolyn :) I've been following your daughter's channel for some time now and have made several of her very creative quilts.
    So far, I have 5 grandchildren. I am nearing 70 and I, too, am making quilts for future grand and great grandchildren (that I won't be here to meet). I've made more than 60!! I guess I figured I'd make a vast array to match any taste -- haha!
    You mentioned that you used to hand quilt. Where did you learn, and do you have an practical tips for someone who might want to give it a try? I don't particularly enjoy hand sewing and, at this point, my arthritis is a hinderance. But a few of the sweet and frilly quilts I've made would be even sweeter with some hand quilting.
    Thanks in advance :) It was wonderful to meet you!

    • @carolyngerkin8420
      @carolyngerkin8420 5 месяцев назад +1

      I did hand quilt all my first quilts and other projects. I, too, have arthritis which makes it more difficult to get the fingers to move the way they need to for the traditional way to hand quilt. I would suggest that you look for a few tutorials that can teach the proper way to do it. Have fun with it. I agree that some quilting projects look best with hand quilting. Thank you.

    You Mom and I have the same hair style. Her hair is white and so is mine. I will be 76 years old very soon. I finished High School in 1966. Are we close to the same age? I don't cook as much as I used to; because, I also love to eat what I cook. I sew at home most of the time. Go to your public and check out some of their quilt books. They also have quilt magazines. Plus, check out RUclips quilting videos for free patterns, lessons, and ideas.
